In which versions of MuseScore Studio is this issue present?

Regression

I was unable to check

Operating system

macOS 14.7.8

Additional context

My preference would be to keep the UI behavior and actually save the changes. (See #31436.) However, as MuseScore is currently designed, this seems like a bug in the UI.
